Day Five

The last day comprised of team building games and a given opportunity for each athlete to work on something they want to work on. It was a fun relaxed session with joviality embroidered throughout the session, a really nice way to wrap up the weeks pre-training.

Everybody gathered round for the precompetition brief from head coach Willie Thomas. In addition to physical preparation Willie re-enforced the lessons learnt over the week. It’s been a hard week and everyone worked well and more importantly pulled together to support each other when things got tough.

Special thanks to the Blackwell Academy, Ipswich for the generous contribution to the EKF allowing the National squad to use their full-time dojo.
